I do farm land loans. I don't know? I am sure it qualifies as added value on an commercial appraisal, whether the county accesses this or not I do not know. We see it as capital improvement on tax returns for sure! But there are soil saving, and water saving, wildlife friendly improvements which can be used under the EQUIP loans, or cost shares too.
Wildlife friendly?, they tear out every cattail gully, drainage with a little grass in it then tile and you cay it's wildlife friendly? The water goes into bigger wetlands or lakes (no small wetlands left as preferred by puddle ducks) with more algae. Ethanol is going down praise the lord. You must be hangin' with the Hefty's and Corn Producers. Read today's Argus. Ethanol sucks.
